Former Manchester United forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic has revealed why he turned down a mega-money deal to play in the Chinese Super League.

The LA Galaxy hitman confirmed he was offered over £100million to play in the far-east, but put pen-to-paper on a rather humble £3million deal to turn out in the MLS.

Despite missing out on a staggering £97million, Ibrahimovic confirmed it wasn't about the money and he joining Galaxy to win trophies 'has no price'.

Speaking to ESPN , Zlatan said: "This is a big challenge for me, I wanted to come over here, to the US and play for Galaxy and show everybody what I'm able to do.

"It's not about the money because I didn't even know my contract here, I just said prepare it and I'm coming. I think even Galaxy were surprised.

"After my injury I just wanted to be happy, appreciate every time I put on football boots, just smell the grass, touch the ball and do what I've been doing for the last 20-years - trust me, that has no price.

When asked on what he wants to accomplish in the MLS, the Swede was as brash as ever, saying he came to the States for more trophies.

"I came to win. I want to bring trophies to my Galaxy and I want to be a part of history, one of the guys that made a difference and bringing these trophies because it's all about winning.

"But it's not a one man show, it's a collective trophy and I've been doing this for 20-years and wherever I went, I won.

"I played for the best clubs in the world, with the best players in the world and we won. I will not make any difference from this place to the other ones - I came to win."
